Q: I am down a bit on this company. Is it worth holding onto? Is the dividend safe? Do you see much future growth? Thank you!
Q: Since your last look a year ago, AcuityAds has been impressive in growing its business and in its most recent quarter, has actually turned EBITDA positive. And now while still small, current N.A. clients with European operations are asking them to expand into Europe while term loan lenders are chipping in by voluntarily proposing to defer interim payments in support of such a move.
Looks quite promising but was wondering if you're familiar with any of the management team.

Q: Hi there,
I follow your BE portfolio and I noticed CSU and SJ seem to be down a bit this morning. Do you think at these prices, it would be a good entry point?
Thanks!

Q: Original Question re PHM sent April 4
No answer received, so I am re-sending. Would 5i please respond?
Please see below:
Member feedback re PHM experience. Please publish in the Q&A:
In the 5i email update to members today, April 4, it is conveyed that it is now time to remove this name from the Growth Portfolio. From all that I have followed in the 5i Q&A, this is the first clear research opinion from 5i to be out of this position well after we have all witnessed (and I participated) in the round trip with PHM. As recently as March 17, the clear guiding research from 5i was to stay the course for a few more quarters.
While I fully appreciate that members must take responsibility for all our particular investment decisions, I think this PHM saga gives all of us a reason to pause and reflect on when any of us could make a better judgement to bail on PHM, and other such strong “upward momentum” opportunities, to decide to step away and take profits.
In retrospect, I would wish that 51 would have given members a clear guiding research opinion much earlier to step away from this former upside momentum stock. Just as you have given a clear guiding opinion by taking out the full weighting of Descartes out of the Balanced Portfolio today citing that it has had a good run, going forward it would be very helpful if 5i would do so with other names, especially "upward momentum" stories that PHM used to be.
As a learning opportunity to share with members, would 5i consider a review your experience with 5i research, thought and opinions 5i expressed on the PHM continuing story, in order to do a retrospective analysis to share with 5i members. Are you willing to identify at what points in time there may have been sufficient reason to step away from this position while it had most of a good run intact (well before April 4)? This may provide many of us regular people a hands-on lesson to apply going forward. We look to 5i to be in our corner to provide conflict free independent research, so perhaps this may be a “real experience” avenue to learn from the pros at 5i. What do you say 5i team?

Q: Thanks for your reply to my previous question, but I never had any thoughts of selling BCE. It is 5% of our holdings and has grown nicely, but I would like to add another telcom. RCI.B and T have disappointed so is there anything in Quebec or eastern Canada worth putting a toe in?
Q: Hello 5i,
You seem to be just a little more positive on Torstar this time around. Unfortunatly i have been an owner of a small amount for a long time. But, i have been thinking of doing some swing trading on it. It seems to have quite large movements in share price in relatively short periods of time. I dont't think i would buy it as a keeper. But, i thought swing trading may work. I have been afraid of bancrupcy, thought. You don' t seem to be too worried about this, though. I was wondering about your thoughts on this strategy?
Thanks

Q: I am puzzled by the market's very negative response to Firan's release of 1st Quarter 2016 results this morning. The results were nothing special - perhaps they missed earlier guidance or expectations in a meaningful way - ?
Thank you,
